Corniglia, The Middle of the Cinque Terre

Looking toward Corniglia, from the edge of Manarola.


See how it is set on the hill? To get to the village, one must climb the Lardarina, series of stairs, comprising of 382 steps.

Or you can take a bus. We opted to experience the stairs.

We made it to the top!

Corniglia seemed quieter than the first two villages we visited. Maybe because it was "siesta time", or maybe because it is quieter due to the lack of a beach front. We found it very quaint and relaxing. A perfect place for lunch.
